I am currently doing the apartment search as well. I got a summer sublet with the promise of the lease being renewed in September, but for some reason, that promised fell through, and I am looking to move by August 31st. In addition to springstreet.com and apartments.com, there is also
www.apartmentzone.com www.rent.net www.aptsforrent.com www.apartmentworld.com and many more apartment sites. Just type apartment search in a search engine, and these sites and more should come up. Many of these sites also have helpful articles and tools for you to use, such as a renter's checklist, 10 things to pack last, questions to ask the landlord before you move in, etc. I've found them all helpful. If you have anymore apartment questions, or need some encouragement, e-mail me at Optimistic1@collegeclub.com
Much Love,
Optimistic1
